Through the faded fractions of memories, the book Roots tells the family-story of the artist, Eva Saukane. The book consists of an unedited roll of film, which Saukane discovered inside her grandfather's camera. Having stood untouched for about 20 years, fungi had grown into the film, blurring the images similarly as time does to our recalled memories. When Saukane found the camera, the film inside had two exposures left to be taken. Unknowingly completing her grandfathers work, Eva Saukane took the remaining shots and brought the film to be developed. It was only then she discovered the mysterious effect, and the ambiguous story of the family began to unravel.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
